all natural banana bread breakfast muffins

26th August 2015
Much like most things in my life, baking and cooking isn’t really my forte, but I’m not one to let that stop me. As a child one of my fondest memories is of sitting on the garden step at my Nonna’s house in Harrow breathing in the scent of warm Banana bread baking in the kitchen. I remember waiting for the loaf to cool felt like an eternity. I found myself thinking about those days a few weeks ago and the urge to fill my own kitchen with the same scents from my child hood washed over me. Obviously the year is now 2015 and I like to think we all live a little healthier, in our home we don’t have cows milk, sugar, white bread amongst other things and we like to keep everything relatively clean of nasty ingredients so I set out in search of some alternatives to knock up a batch of healthy Banana bread muffins. I had some left over coconut flour from my regular baking of that chocolate cake and this is what we rustled up. Yes, I may have left them in the oven slightly longer that needed but I think we should focus more on the fact that these were edible and not mere details like that. You Will Need 3-4 ripe bananas 50g smashed 80% dark chocolate 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 2 tbsp Almond butter 2 tbsp Coconut Oil 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 50g Coconut flour 2 Eggs 1 tbsp Organic honey A pinch of salt A big dash of Cinnamon   1. Pre heat your oven to 200 Degrees C (am I the only person that always forgets this part?) 2.

You Will Need

3-4 ripe bananas

50g smashed 80% dark chocolate

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 tbsp Almond butter

2 tbsp Coconut Oil

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

50g Coconut flour

2 Eggs

1 tbsp Organic honey

A pinch of salt

A big dash of Cinnamon


 

1. Pre heat your oven to 200 Degrees C (am I the only person that always forgets this part?)

2. Using a large mixing bowl add in your ripe bananas, coconut oil, baking powder, honey, cinnamon, salt and almond butter mixing until smooth. Then add the rest of your ingredients making sure the smashed up Dark Chocolate go in last.

3. Separate your mixture into your muffin cases, I think I managed to fill 8 and bake in the oven for around 20-25 minutes.

Not 35 minutes like I did above.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
